Why Adoption Matters
Every pet deserves a loving home—and when you choose to adopt, you become part of something bigger than yourself.
Adopting from Claiborne Animal Shelter means giving a second chance to an animal who may have come from neglect, abandonment, or simply a life without stability. These pets are resilient, loving, and ready to be part of a family—they're just waiting for someone like you.
When you adopt, you help:
-
Save lives – Every adoption opens space for us to rescue another animal in need.
-
Reduce pet overpopulation – All of our adoptable animals are spayed or neutered.
-
Support your community – Adoption fees go directly toward the care, feeding, and medical treatment of local animals.
-
Stand against animal cruelty – Choosing adoption helps reduce the demand for animals bred and sold in inhumane conditions.

Choosing the Right Pet for Your Family
Choosing a new family member is a big decision, and we’re here to help. Our knowledgeable staff is available to assist you throughout the adoption process and help ensure the best match for your lifestyle and household.
If you currently have dogs at home, we encourage you to bring them along to meet potential new companions. You can use our on-site Boyd Foundation Dog Park to let them interact and play in a relaxed setting.
When you visit our adoption facility and find the perfect fit, you’ll be asked to complete an adoption application if not done so prior to the visit. These questions are designed to help our team ensure a smooth and successful transition for both your family and your new pet.
